It
Takes More Than Balls: The
Savvy Girls' Guide to Understanding and Enjoying Baseball
"A unique and fun
book that lends a whole new perspective on our national
pastime. Congratulations to Deidre and Jackie for presenting
the game in such a wonderful and informative way. This
book is a great tool and a good read for all baseball
fans of any age." -- Cal Ripken, Jr.
From the Back Cover:
Deidre Silva and Jackie Koney, authors and baseball
enthusiasts, want you to know that it's okay to zone
out during a sixth inning lull in the action or to eavesdrop
on other people's conversations around you in the stadium.
You shouldn't feel guilty if you miss a pitch or don't
understand a call. It doesn't make you any less of a
fan, it just makes you a fan who enjoys the game from
a different perspective. Maybe like Silva and Koney,
that perspective includes barbecue and gimlets.
It Takes More Than Balls is a fun, playful
inside look at our national pastime that includes both
the useful (explaining exactly how to figure out those
complicated score cards) and the sordid (in its early
days the American Association was referred to as the
Beer and Whiskey League by more puritanical National
League fans), and everything in between. Silva and Koney's
vast knowledge of the game and lighthearted style combine
to make this the perfect baseball resource for a serious
fan looking to lighten up, or a great welcome to the
game for the "baseball curious."
